TOC not compiling correctly

Help, I have a horrible problem and a deadline first thing tomorrow.

When I compiled my project in HTML, I noticed that two of the TOC books were not included. There are no conditional tags set for them. When I create a new book just to see what happened, that doesn't show up either. It seems that the TOC has got corrupted somehow and isn't shwing any new changes. Is there anything I can do without having to recreate my TOC which is huge?

Thanks

Are you generating webhelp or a CHM? Both use HTML.

Create a new topic with just the text "redrabbit". Generate and search. That will establish the help is updating and you are looking at the right output.

In the wizard, are you selecting the same TOC as the one you are editing?

RH7, RH8?

I'm generating a chm in RH7 and I only have one TOC.

Yes a topic called redrabbit is updated but not a folder of the same name in the top level of the TOC.

I have a lot of conditional build tags in my project and suspect it is something to do with them. This all started when I excluded a book from the output. The book was successfully excluded but so was another one that I had wanted included. Both books are contained together in another book. This top level book has no tag attached. I need to exclude lots of other books within the project and it has worked correctly in those cases.

So I suspected a problem with this particular tag and deleted it from the project as a workaround. Then I discovered that I can't add a new book to the top level of the TOC.

I have checked some old backups I have and it seems the problem has been there for ages. I have only just discovered it as I have only just now needed to create this specific output.

I notice lots of instances of this message during compilation:

HHC5003: Error:
Compilation failed while compiling Unnamed\image22.jpg.

The message all concern images but these images display fine in the compiled chm.
